[Amyloid goiter. Report of two cases].
We report two cases of amyloid goiter which clinical appearance had evoked a neoplastic lesion. The diagnosis was made by histologic examination. The nature of the amyloid precursor, determined by immunohistochemistry, has allowed to evoke primitive amyloidosis in one case and to attribute amyloid goiter to renal insufficiency in the second case.
